A rich and decadent chocolate tart with a crisp crust and smooth ganache, perfect for special occasions or indulgent treats.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup high-quality cocoa powder
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons ice water

Chocolate Ganache

  • 12 oz dark chocolate 70% cacao, finely chopped
  • 1.25 cups heavy cream
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions 

  • Pulse flour, cocoa powder, and sugar in a food processor. Add butter and pulse until coarse crumbs.
  • Add egg yolk and ice water, pulsing until dough begins to come together. Turn onto surface, form into disc, wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
  • Roll out dough, fit into 9-inch tart pan, prick bottom, and freeze for 15 minutes. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes, then remove weights and bake 5 more minutes. Cool completely.
  • Heat heavy cream until simmering. Pour over chopped chocolate, let sit 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Add salt and vanilla.
  • Pour ganache into cooled tart shell, smooth top, and refrigerate at least 4 hours until set. Decorate as desired before serving.

Notes

Ensure the tart is fully cooled before adding ganache for a clean finish.
